Yeah, You

I'm just here to stay inside
While you barge in with your loud collide
I never called you over, never asked for your help
You think you're bigger; you're so full of yourself

Just a middle child you are
Which means your emotions are not far
You've only got your simple-minded, little friend
Who used you for 5 years and you're, what, back again?

My passive nature through your eyes
Makes me consider, yes, suicide
All these years you've never known that
You'll never know how deep you've trapped

Me in this corner you let me out
From time to time I run about
When things are dark you push me in
And when you're up, you let me out again

Why do you want to fight on your time?
I don't care! 'Cause I don't want to waste mine
You think that just 'cause I don't want to fight
That that's my defense; yet that's why I pick up and take flight

Just leave me alone and keep to your life
'Cause I wanna live, and I don't wanna do what I might
Just 'cause of some idiot who pisses me off
But you're such a beautiful flame and I'm just a dumb moth
